"The Weaver." Words by William Felter. 
Music by Thurlow Lieurance. 

The Poem is Indian in Nature. The Melody is a Crow

Tobacco in the Spring is a Religious Ceremony. 
The Melody was sung by "Felix Bear," "In the 
Cloud," and "Sitting Eagle," and recorded by the 
author in January, 191.^ on the Crow Reserv^ation, 
near the Custer Battlefield. 

"Love Songs." From the Red Willow Pueb- 
los. Words by Edna Dean Proctor. Music 
by Thurlow Lieurance. 

The Melody is one of the Red Willow Ceremonial Songs, 
. and the words are from an Omaha Legend. When 
the young Indian feels the Spring of Love Dawn, 
he mounts the hill overlooking the valley where the 
camp is located, and calls upon the Flute to His 
Love. The Love Songs are played upon the Indian 
Flute, which is made of two pieces of Cedar, glued 
together with the pitch from the pine tree.
